Humility - Key to success

Hello Readers.
I am back after a long gap.Sorry to keep you waiting.

It is said that humility is the key to success. Humility in a dictionary is defined as the quality of having modest or low view of one’s importance. It is a skill to admit that we have problems, experience pain, make mistakes, we are faulty, act in ways we shouldn't have, say things that are not good, think bad for others etc. the list goes on.

We face all the negative and painful conditions without trying to escape from them because humility helps us understand it.

How can we escape from a prison if we don't admit that we are a prisoner? How can we run if we cannot even walk?How can we swim if we are afraid of water? How can we solve our problems if we do not admit that we have them? Humility saves us from arrogance, false pride, overconfidence, egotism etc. It is a necessary quality for self-improvement of a human being and helps him/her grow and heal.

It helps us to find answers to our own problems and solve them. We can ask people whom we trust the most the solutions to our problems and make a decision accordingly. We can cope with our life in a quiet, practical, and appropriate manner.

Humility helps us to realise that others do not necessarily perceive and live life in the same way that we do. If our own lives are not working as we expected, we are frustrated and disappointed, we have nothing left, we are bored, and perhaps we are unhappy, then with a touch of humility we don't go around assuming that everybody else is in the same boat. We realise that there are many different approaches and outlooks to life that are different from our own.

Frustrations and problems do not have the same impact when the ego is not involved. By combining humility with motivation, a person can develop the ability to overcome obstacles without letting failures knock one out of balance. Thus, I want to be known as humble because humility is the key to innovation, flexibility and success.

So appreciate life and learn to enjoy what is in front of us. Do not let go.

Let us nurture humility within ourselves and overcome our ignorance, narrow mindedness, and discontent.
